Pinata! NVR

i have two friends with birthdays coming up and i've decided to make them both a pinata. one of the friends is turning 21 so i've decided to get a bunch of mini alcohol to put i hers but i'd also like to put other things in it too. my other friend is turning 20, so no alcohol theme. so far i am at a loss for what to put in his. i don't want to buy gross candy. does anyone have any ideas of food or other items i could make to stuff in there?
fill it with refried beans... it goes with the pinata theme, and god, think of the glory... candy would be eaten in a day, but that would be funny for the rest of your life
That's a tough one (for me, at least). If it were a girl, you could put in mini lotions and things, but since it's a guy, I can't think of anything expect to mix gum and mints into the candy mix - but that's not exactly fun.
condoms. those 20 year olds are all about doing it.
OK, I'm not saying this because I'm a pervert (but I can be...) but what about filling it with condoms? At least you will know he will be "safe" then! And depending on your crowd it could be a good laugh. Other non-pervet ideas--car air freshners, mints, glow sticks, is that stuff "butch" I don't know, I'm such a girl, I guess I'm not very good at this game...
haha wow- i beat you to that condom idea by 33 seconds!
;D LOL
Condoms were my first, and unstated, idea. I wasn't going to say it, but apparently it's a common thought. I guess it depends on who is going to be at the party. You can get 100 condom assortment for $35 from someplace like Adam & Eve.
Yeah! Now I don't feel like a totally creepy pervert for suggesting it!
We filled a pinata with corona, beans and rice for my friend's 21st birthday. Everyone got a kick out of it :)

That's a great idea!
Food is something else I thought of, but how do you package it?
Last year Will threw me an 80's party (we went roller skating, dressed silly, and otherwise behaved badly) BUT, he got a Strawberry Shortcake pinata and stuffed it with liquor bottles, tiny Magic 8 balls (party supply store??), tiny bottles of bubbles, jelly bracelets, tiny rubix cubes, packs of gum (I'm a gum junkie), glow stix, and a bunch of packets of Horsey sauce that he stole from Arby's (inside joke and I'm still finding them in various places in the house ::) ).
although, he's really into the beans idea...I'm glad he didn't know y'all then ;D ;D
Do veg*ns have vegetable or fruit-shaped piñatas? ;D ;D It would certainly be more fun to whale into a huge tomato than to smack some poor defenseless papier mache burro with a stick..."Attack of the Killer Tomatos: The Revenge"
:D ;) ;D ::)

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks Lucid...

I live a hop, skip and tippy-toe from the Mexican border so I've seen lots of pinatas. I have seen carrot pinatas. The paper mache people pinatas are my favorite. I always pretend the female ones are the boss lady from my 1st job after college, almost 30 years ago. I gotta let go of that grudge but sometimes it's fun to act out the revenge I could never attempt to get at the time.

;D ;D ;D That's how I feel about my first boss just after college. i now work for a man who is sexist AND if I summarize my findings for him (he doesn't read long reports) we will go into a meeting where he will publicly denounce me for my lack of experience and then bring up his speaking points - and they'll be my speaking points I just told him about. You'd think I might freak out more than I do, but I had that one horrible boss that puts it all in context. I no longer develop my ideas in my reports to him so that I can ask him probing questions in meeting that he can't answer. I, of course, can speak to topic, and do - thouroughly.
I haven't reread the entire thread, but I like the little bottles of detergent that you can blow bubbles with, if that's not too immature.
thanks for all the suggestions! ;D I will surely throw some condoms in there. and bubbles. i also thought of lottery tickets and i'm on the look out for silly trinkets at thrift stores.
Bubbles are cool. A friend brought me some of those tiny bubble bottles from a party and I was amazed at my own reaction--my inner child said, "Wheee!!!" ;D

Ooooh, I need to get bubble stuff for me and DH and get all the cats in the back yard and blow bubbles for them to chase and we'll all have so much fun!
